I understand that the name Wilmar is currently popular in Latin America, but to list it as solely "Spanish (Latin American)" does the name a disservice, as its history precedes its use there by many centuries. For example, it was already in use in medieval Germany - long before the discovery of the Americas! I imagine the same applies to the other Germanic countries of continental Europe, where the name is still in use to this day (albeit not as much as in Latin America). As such, you might want to consider amending this entry to better reflect the name's history or use in the Germanic cultures of continental Europe.
